The variety is classified as a dwarf or semi-dwarf type of fescue. In comparison with forage varieties, it is characterized by lower plant height, slowed vertical growth, increased shoot density, and a finer structure of leaf blades.

The plant is used in scientific research as a subject for studying mechanisms of drought tolerance and the physiological ability to maintain green color under water stress. The genetic material of the variety has been used in breeding to develop new turf varieties.
